I've been getting more serious about spending some months at altitude and I would love to know where folks have done this outside of the US, in terms of all the nitty gritty.
I think Ray said benefits are apparent at 4K ft, but somewhere I think also he mentioned 6K. Questions:
1. Does anyone have a sense that going even higher would be problematic? Like is there a max benefit curve on this, and if so how high/low might it be?
2. Anyone know if there is a way to measure amounts of new mitochondria? Or how long the body keeps them after returning to sea level?
In terms of locations and logistics:
1. South America: Where to go, where is comfortable to live for a few months at a time, or perhaps longer? There are so many beautiful and interesting places, but where is interesting, livable, relatively safe, not insane to get to.
2. Does anyone know of places like vineyards, farms, artist spaces that host people? not into the ayahuasca scene, not wanting to spend mad money, not wanting to be a woofer. But having a destination, infrastructure, community seems important.
2. Europe: seems like Georgia is the option here, in the summer, and maybe some parts of the Alps.
Thanks for thoughts and experiences!
